The View’s arch-Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck has an interesting hypothesis about middle-aged lesbians: older women enter into same-sex relationships because men their age chase after pretty-young-things, she said.

“All the older men are going for younger women, leaving the women with no one,” she said.

Joy Behar, another View co-host, immediately retorted that Ms. Hasselbeck’s claims were “ridiculous” and that women do not suddenly choose lesbianism later in life.

“Being gay is not just holding hands and walking through the tulips,” Ms. Behar said. “I don’t think that you suddenly wake up and say, ‘You know, I think I want to do that.’ You wanted to do it; you were just trapped in a system that said ‘get married.’

Tune into our live blog starting at 11 a.m. ET as we cover U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit to the show. With any luck, Ms. Hasselbeck will enlighten us with her theories about the real cause of BP oil spill and why so many Americans are unemployed.
